ABSTRACT:
A camera for use in a stereophotogrammetric assembly including a pair of camera assemblies, each assembly having a pair of cameras located on either side of a flash lamp assembly. Each of the cameras of the assemblies includes a flat transparent plate located in a camera housing, with the camera lens being adjustable with respect to the plate. A resilient plate-like member associated with an overcenter toggle assembly holds a film length against the glass plate for exposure. A film magazine releasably latched to a bottom portion of the camera housing is provided for dispensing the film. Apparatus for providing fiducial marks and a film recordation of the lens adjustment -- for stereo-plotting purposes -- is provided including an internal flash mechanism in the camera housing with light piping extending to the glass plate. Film wastage is minimized by the location of the lens centerpoint (which corresponds to the fiducial marking centerpoint) off the horizontal center of the film length to be exposed.
